[PATCH v8 00/18] blk-mq/scsi: Provide hostwide shared tags for SCSI HBAs

Hi all,

Here is v8 of the patchset.

In this version of the series, we keep the shared sbitmap for driver tags,
and introduce changes to fix up the tag budgeting across request queues.
We also have a change to count requests per-hctx for when an elevator is
enabled, as an optimisation. I also dropped the debugfs changes - more on
that below.

Some performance figures:

Using 12x SAS SSDs on hisi_sas v3 hw. mq-deadline results are included,
but it is not always an appropriate scheduler to use.

Tag depth 4000 (default) 260**

Baseline (v5.9-rc1):
none sched: 2094K IOPS 513K
mq-deadline sched: 2145K IOPS 1336K

Final, host_tagset=0 in LLDD *, ***:
none sched: 2120K IOPS 550K
mq-deadline sched: 2121K IOPS 1309K

Final ***:
none sched: 2132K IOPS 1185
mq-deadline sched: 2145K IOPS 2097

* this is relevant as this is the performance in supporting but not
enabling the feature
** depth=260 is relevant as some point where we are regularly waiting for
tags to be available. Figures were are a bit unstable here.
*** Included "[PATCH V4] scsi: core: only re-run queue in
scsi_end_request() if device queue is busy"

A copy of the patches can be found here:
https://github.com/hisilicon/kernel-dev/tree/private-topic-blk-mq-shared-tags-v8

The hpsa patch depends on:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20200430131904.5847-1-hare@suse.de/

And the smartpqi patch is not to be accepted.

Comments (and testing) welcome, thanks!

Differences to v7:
- Add null_blk and scsi_debug support
- Drop debugfs tags patch - it's too difficult to be the same between
hostwide and non-hostwide, as discussed:

And from commit 6bf0eb550452 ("sbitmap: Consider cleared bits in
sbitmap_bitmap_show()"), I guess not many used this anyway...
- Add elevator per-hctx request count for optimisation
- Break up "blk-mq: rename blk_mq_update_tag_set_depth()" into 2x patches
- Pass flags for avoid per-hq queue tags init/free for hostwide tags
- Add Don's reviewed-tag and tested-by tags to appropiate patches
- (@Don, please let me know if issue with how I did this)
- Add "scsi: core: Show nr_hw_queues in sysfs"
- Rework megaraid SAS patch to have module param (Kashyap)
- rebase
